Every generation had their bohemians and beatniks. What was different about my generation (the Hippies), was we were the most vocal about change on a massive scale. From the music, clothes, cars, design, a whole new consciousness raising on a massive scale. For me it all started when Kennedy got shot and Johnson came in with Vietnam and Strawberry Fields Forever.. There was always some protest going on in the streets (before internet), and every Sunday there was a Love-in in Lincoln Park.
I have'nt seen anything like the "hippy movement" since. Maybe I have amnesia? Then I came out playing in a feminist band. (popcorninthesofa said this)
Exactly. I think of my self as a hippie too. I really do not conform. I'm all of the above, add music loving. If I wasn't so afraid of going to jail, I'd be 420. I love the word Beatnik!
